<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 How can man... How can you stand in the pulpit and preach the Gospel and deny Divine healing? Why, the pagan of Africa can produce a better God than what you try to produce. You that deny and call... If you call me that, I'd be ready to have you arrested. Making God a little weakling, you know more than He does. God is strong. What it is... When God speaks, everything else jumps in the corner. All your theology, and your churchanity, and all your know how and everything else drops in the corner. When God speaks, His Word takes place, and it's predominate over every man's word. "Let every man's word be a lie and mine be true." The Bible said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That settles it as far as I'm concerned. Sure. He's no weakling; He's still Almighty God. Everything's provided; we're waiting.

L-23 Now, Christ came, the law came, Moses came, Elijah came, the prophets came, and everything that pointed to Calvary come to there and the Lamb was slain. And everything is provided and waiting. Now, the next thing has to be, the invitation has to be given out. And God alone come and gives them out. The preacher says, "All things are ready." That's the preacher speaking. "All things are ready." The invitation's went forth; the preacher said, "All things are ready." God gave the invitation after the preaching of the Word. The... How do you know that all things are ready? It's written in the Word, "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the word of God."
Your healing is ready. Your great jubilee is ready tonight. Hallelujah. God's great Divine healing campaign for you is ready. Amen. The... Christ has been killed; His blood has been shed; the Holy Ghost is here; and the Father's given you an invitation. "All things are ready." Who said so? The Word: "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word." God uses preachers to bring the Word. You hear by faith.

L-24 Elijah was setting up on the mountain, and God told him to go down, because down there, there was a widow woman that was in trouble. And she was out in the yard trying to pick up two sticks. And down the street come the preacher, the prophet. And as he walked by, leaned over the fence, and this widow in the yard, he said, "Go, fetch me a little water and a morsel of bread."
And she said, "As..." Look, see how God knows how to send? God had already give her the invitation. Here comes the preacher to preach the Word, Elijah. And he said, "Bring me a... this morsel of bread and a little water."
And she said, "As the Lord liveth," said, "I only have just a little bit of meal." In other words, I scraped the barrel all out, just took it out. "And I got just enough shortening to make one little cake. And I'm out here getting two sticks. And I'm going to bake the cake. My son and I will eat it and die."

L-25 Oh, I wish I had time to get in on that. Just I feel it a pouring from heaven. Look, the two sticks was the cross. The old Indian in the old fashion way of making a fire, you woodsmen, my brethren, know what I mean. You'll take and build a fire in the middle of the two logs and keep pushing the ends in. The heat is in the middle.
And she said, "I'm going in and take these two sticks, and build a fire, and cook the cakes." And the cakes was made of meal which means the wave offering, which was Christ. "And I'm going to bake it with fire." That's Holy Ghost fire, if we had time to get into it, in the middle of the cross. "And the son and I are going to eat it and die."
